Episode Synopsis

Episode 03The Paradise: a heady world of desires, dreams and ambition, and the most luxurious selection of goods you'll ever find, all under one roof. Set amidst the Victorian splendour of Britain's first department store, THE PARADISE is a rags-to-riches story of a young girl who falls in love with the intoxicating charms of the modern world.

As Denise finds her feet as a shop girl in the Ladies wear department of The Paradise, she must navigate her way through the shop floor power struggles, the intrigues and the affairs. She is young, ambitious and knows she has the ability to rise to dizzying heights.

Meanwhile, the shop's dashing and reckless owner, John Moray, spots Denise almost as soon as she's set foot on the shop floor. Self-made and utterly modern, Moray can be ruthless - and completely charming. In Denise he sees some of himself, and can't help being drawn to her, despite being entangled with his powerful financier's pampered and determined daughter, Katherine Glendenning.

This week, a shocking discovery in Ladies wear causes ripples through the store. To test Moray's feelings, Katherine pursues another man. Miss Audrey bans Denise from having any more ideas, forcing Denise to use all her cunning.
